They don't need to be wiped out but there needs to be measures taken that would allow hunting and trapping of wolves to help keep them wild and keep numbers in check...
A new Ruger Hawkeye Hunter would be sweet also. 6.5 PRC, .308, or 30-06 would all be great for your son.

How about a Ruger 1B in 6mm Remington since you reload! You would have to find a used one but man are they great rifles. I have one and love it in 6mm Remington. It shoots great, is nice to carry, and is gorgeous. I also have the same model in 30-06. Same same as indicated. There are...
150gr. Nosler E-tip would be a great bullet if you want a mono.
165gr. or 180gr. Accubond would be fantastic as well.
165gr. or 180gr. Partition would also work very well. As someone once said a Partition is never a mistake.
My son has used the 90gr. Nosler E-tip in his 6mm Remington which is a Ruger MKII with a 22" barrel with great success. He has taken if I remember correctly 3 antelope with one shot each. Shot distances right about 300 yards. One buck deer roughly 200 yards one shot. Also a nice big cow elk...
My father shot nothing but 160 gr. Partitions in his Post 64 Model 70 Winchester from coyotes, antelope, deer, and elk. That's a great bullet in the 7mm Remington magnum. The 160 gr. Nosler Accubond would be equally as good as the Partition. Both are outstanding bullets. If you want a mono...
A Model 70 Supergrade would be pretty sweet.
Ruger Hawkeye Hunter would also be an outstanding choice. Solid good looking rifle.
Maybe a Sako 90 Hunter rifle. Wow is all I can say!

I fought for 12 years as an amateur boxer and watched George as an amateur and a professional. He was a great champion with a huge heart. Rest in peace George and blessings to your family.
Hamburger, sausages (several types), jerky. All will be exceptionally good and won't be chewy in my experience. I really like making my own jerky and such and I can season it how I like.
Cheap fatty pork shoulder roasts work great for mix on sausage and burger. For jerky seasoning blends...
